The Ultimate VSR 10 setup
A morning session at the range at Dirty Dog Airsoft this weekend testing a new combination of VSR 10 parts threw up some surprise results. Want to know what setup I’m using? Read on… Building my VSR I get quite a lot of upgrade parts sent out to test. Some good, some need tweaked, some…

Other bits
Always got to have a section at the end for other bits that are worth adding to a rifle. Most players assume that performance relates to rifle internals only, and is measured by range and accuracy, however there are external components that also add to how well you can operate the rifle, or that can…

Rifle Upgrading
This is probably the hottest topic on any airsoft sniper forum; many players see the rifle as the most important part of the kit and without ploughing money into it, they’ll fail as a sniper. Indeed, the (incorrect) advice given by those who think they know best, is that sniping is expensive and should be…

High Speed, Low Frag
The downtime afforded by covid has at least given a lot of time to sit, think, analyse and reflect. I’ve picked up a great many projects surrounding airsoft, both internal and external too, which has kept me extremely busy and perhaps a little off the path of my own kit. Yesterday someone asked me how…

Adding Bipods
Or, not adding them. Why slapping a bipod or tripod on an airsoft sniper rifle is a bad idea. But you really should buy one for your gun anyway because it’s very useful to have one. I haven’t been drinking, no. This blog has been sparked by a picture of a milsim player with a…

Introducing Stipsniper.com on YouTube…
I know I’ve said for years that I wouldn’t do a YouTube channel. But now I have, and it’s not because I want that “Youtuber” tag. Recently, I’ve been busy chatting to Point6 about doing a series of podcast type Live shows on Facebook, just to chat about all things sniper related. We’ve got quite…

My EDC Pouch
Prepping has gained a lot of traction in recent times, especially given the rather “interesting” times we live in. I thought it might therefore interest some people to have a look inside my everyday carry (EDC) pouch. EDC pouches and kits are an increasingly common concept, with the idea being that this pouch will contain…

Mission : Critical
If there’s one thing I’ve been thankful for down the years, it’s people telling me stuff is shit. Whether it’s been in reviews, through social media, or just out in the field, knowing what works and what doesn’t is critical to being a good sniper, depending on what your goals are of course. Airsoft is…

Reviewing 2020
For most players, there’s probably very little to write about this year. Certainly when I sat down to write this, I was just going to write the title and one sentence : “Airsoft in 2020 was shit” And then leave it at that. But, looking back through my notebooks and at the ever evolving kit…

How to : Counter Sniper
Sparked by a question, put to a sniper, on a recent podcast. “How do we take you out?” (risky question to answer). If I was in that seat, I don’t think I’d be giving any secrets away. Certainly nothing useful. However, it is a situation that crops up quite often at skirmish – getting rid…
